Figure 1

(a) Computed tomographic (CT) image of the sacrococcygeal joint of a healthy ambulatory individual. Gluteus muscle volume is well maintained, but the area around the sacrum appears thinned. (b) CT image of a patient who received modified gluteal fasciocutaneous flaps using a rotational muscle flap. The muscle appears well padded.
